Sometimes the app crashes when doing mapHide()

What is "sometimes"? Can you say how many times you have to show/hide before it crashes or do you have steps to reproduce? Generally, it is a bad idea to hide the map after it's shown. We're hacking the layout on Android to allow the plugin to work so messing around with the views is not recommended.
